YOUR DOG -
The Caring Canine Companion
YOUR SPECIAL FRIEND -
The resident in an Aged
Care Home
Volunteering
with us is a
PARTNERSHIP -
YOU AND YOUR CARING
CANINE COMPANION.
While you and
your Caring Canine Companion are visiting your Special Friend, you will also see
other residents
who will love to pat your dog and chat with
you.
Before you
can visit with your dog in our program,
CARING CANINE
COMPANIONS,
your dog will need to undergo an assessment by
our
specially selected
assessors.
ALL BREEDS
ARE ELIGIBLE as well as mixed
breeds
You can try
to check whether
your dog might be suitable to visit a
Residential Aged Care Home.
